Background

The biennial conference is the premier event for surveying and spatial sciences in the Australasian region. It attracts a large and diverse audience and in 2009 will embrace a new format. The South Australian regional committee for the Surveying and Spatial Sciences Institute is very excited about the event, which will provide cutting edge developments in the application of spatial science to a diverse set of disciplines, communities and people: indeed this diversity is the inspiration for the conference theme of Spatial Diversity.

The conference theme will be delivered to you via plenary and keynote presentations, technical papers, symposia, workshops, competitions, awards, dinners, lunches, coffee, exhibitions, breakfasts, walks and talks. We are attracting key players in the industries where spatial information is so important - environment, mining, defence, land administration, agriculture, disaster management and more. Together with these people we are engaging a large range of exhibitors of technology and applications.
